Today I am featuring baby Benny's nautical first birthday party! I have featured his mom, Brittany of Brittany Lauren Design, on the blog several times (we actually did a giveaway for one of her adorable monogrammed anchor mugs in the spring!). I was not surprised at all that Benny had a nautical party with his mom's love of all things nautical! The setting for the party was a local beach club.

This week I will be starting my back to school series! It might seem a little early but August 1 is this Friday (!) and LAUSD schools are back in session in just about 3 weeks. Most colleges are starting up the last week of August, just one month away!

If there is something specific you would like me to post about please leave a comment or send me an email. I have already planned posts about nautical dorm decor, back to school outfits for kids (boys and girls), and nautical school supplies/accessories

Ahoy! Seashop was founded in 2012 by two women who love nautical, vintage and re-purposed items. All of the treasures you will find at Seashop are unique, artistic, and inspired by the sea. New items are posted weekly so check back often!

I got my hair and eye makeup done before the event. My hair doesn't hold styles or curls for very long at all so I wanted to get a photo right after

This is my hair an hour later. HA!

It was a cloudy, cool night in the south bay (it actually rained for about two minutes earlier in the day!) so I brought a navy sweater. This dress actually looks whiter in person but I also don't have white pants or a solid white dress. I like to think my anchors stood out in a sea of white ;)

I brought my friend C as my plus one

There was a silent auction and a live auction (I really wanted to bid on the trip to Martha's Vineyard-beautiful house and fly there via private plane! Too bad I didn't have $10,000+ to spend)

Drink menu

There were booths set up for local restaurants and bars to offer samplings of their best food and drinks. I think my favorite was the mac and cheese from The Rockefeller
